3.5

A solid installment to the series. I love Pip & Ravi. Certain parts of this book felt overly melodramatic which took me out of it slightly. The ending came out of left field(!) and I didn't love it. This book didn't have the same emotional impact on me as the first book in this series.

For the most part I didn’t find this as gripping as the other entries in this series, but in the last hundred pages it becomes impossible to put down. This book is haunting. The world within is sick and twisted but so devastatingly real. I have never read a series as terrifying as AGGGTM.

4.75

This was a crazy read compared to AGGGTM. Still just as good, but had a lot more turns + twists that I just wasn’t prepared for or expecting. I would have put a 5 star rating, but don’t let that fool you…I literally only put 4.75 because the beginning of the book felt slow for me. But as I continued reading, it truly picked up + made me question everything.
